Palin, on Facebook, Commends Ryan's Selection, Slams Obama

In a note posted on her Facebook page, Sarah Palin congratulated Mitt Romney on his choice of Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate, saying Republicans must look to the Romney/Ryan ticket “to provide an alternate vision of an America that is fiscally responsible, strong, and prosperous.”

“Congratulations to Mitt Romney on his choice of Congressman Paul Ryan as his running mate,” Palin wrote.

“President Obama has declared that this election is about ‘two fundamentally different visions’ for America. Goodness, he's got that right. Our country cannot afford four more years of Barack Obama's fundamentally flawed vision. We must now look to this new team, the Romney/Ryan ticket, to provide an alternate vision of an America that is fiscally responsible, strong, and prosperous--an America that understands and is proud of her exceptional place in the world.”

She concluded the post by urging her followers to help Romney, Ryan and other GOP candidates. “Please continue to focus on the presidential race and on helping Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, but it's also imperative that we get involved in the nation's important House and Senate races. These candidates need our help to ensure that our next president has a responsible and ethical Congress that actually gets things done for America. Now on to November!”
